I haven't updated in a while. I got a smoking deal on a 2g head last week so I'm getting excited to get this thing back together. I also picked up the oil pump with balance shaft elimination posted above. I think all i have left to buy for it is a gasket set and a baffle plate.

I got the head from a guy off of craigslist. he was playing the normal craigslist games and being a pain in my ass not being very descriptive and no price. I was getting pissed and texted turbotalon1g that if this guy tells me to make a offer I'm going to say $25. I did, fully exspecting him to tell me to get fucked but instead he replied "if you come get it tonight" so I jumped in the car .

The head is pretty clean some carbon build up and looks like 1 bent exhaust valve. I plan on replacing the valve seals and relapping the valves and running it.

$25 head

Awesome. So are there any tricks that you can do to help against potential crankwalk on those?

Not really anything new I've heard of. But since I'm auto I'm not to worried about it.

What are those goofy stud looking things in the valve cover bolt holes?

They are studs. I don't know if it is something that mitsubishi did on the 95-96 heads or something the previousowner did. My valve cover didn't seam to fit over them so I pulled them out.

So how much trouble do you guys think I'll get in if I put the head in the dishwasher??

Just make sure to bake off any remaining grime on it in the oven right after :)

The studs are for the black Hyundai valve cover. They are a thicker valve cover that does not crack. I have them in the Spyder and evo.

last weekend I fixed some strut tower rust that has been bothering me for a while. I cut the rust out on the seam and welded in some new sheet metal. I haven't taken any pictures of it painted but it looks a lot better then it did.

Today I got the whole short block assembled. I just need to finish up my head and throw it on and time it and it will be ready to drop in.

Does anyone have a valve spring compressor I could borrow to put the valves in. none of mine are working so I called it a day.

here are the only pics I took of todays progress.
